Jason Calacanis warns that investing trillions in AI systems that developers cannot control risks highly destructive outcomes
Policy professional Peter Wildeford subsequently highlighted the warning.
Positive users back calls for caution on uncontrolled AI development and spending to avoid catastrophe, while negative users dismiss the warnings as fear-mongering doomerism.

This sounds exactly like Republicans summoning Trump.
They spent years feeding the anger, outrage and conspiracy theories because it was politically useful. Then they acted shocked when the thing they created took over the party and started burning down every norm and institution in sight.
The AI comparison might be more accurate than you intended.
@Jason
@agcty_ 1. I've always thought there was risk 2. Cyber security risk is now here and it's not pretty 3. if cyber is this dicey can you imagine what happens in 18 months when open source bio weapon models emerge?
@Jason according to daot we should get ten k years out of abominable intelligence before they turn on us @grok confirm daot in wh40k they had men of iron and stcs for 10k years before they turned
@criscrinkl currently? yes.
when open source models have Mythos level power in six months?
no
@Jason Sounds like the horse owners when cars came out. "These things are going to kill everyone because they go so fast"
@Jason Wasn't the central point of the past few pods on the danger of fear mongering?
@Jason Read the Zauberlehrling.
But honestly - AI is not a demon just a tool.
The youngsters seem to be afraid of it 😂
@Jason Elon's philosophy seems the most robust against that possibility yet none of the big AI firmd take it as seriously as He does.
@Jason I’M GOING HEAVY TODAY🚨
Details are as follows!!
⬇️
The steady leftward shift in American politics—briefly interrupted by Reagan—since Nixon defeated far-left Democrat George McGovern is what brought Trump to power.
Americans have rejected the left for decades, yet it persists by any means necessary. From McGovern to now, the public has clearly opposed socialism and the nanny state.
@TheDemocrats have only thrived, as with @BillClinton and @BarackObama, when they have managed to fooled most Americans into seeing them as moderates.
@Jason What if Chamath summon you? This same thing.
@Jason I thought you were talking about the IRGC.
@Jason @grok are you a demon
@criscrinkl @Jason What about those we don't know of (unknown unknown), and those owning/hiding it, and not wanting it to be turned off?
It was a neutral tool. They turned it into a weapon. Not all weapons are loud. Or hot. Think of the ivory tower.
@SnowRa33 @Jason Those servers can be unplugged too
@Jason yawn
@criscrinkl @Jason Hm. Unsure if you draw the line too narrowly by intention. But yeah, sure he did.
Extrapolate a bit further. You seem a smart builder.
Best of success
khalidaxx In WH40K lore the Dark Age of Technology with Men of Iron and STCs did deliver millennia of explosive progress before the rebellion.
Real-world AI capex is huge but the ROI compounds insanely fast. Short term: productivity explosions across coding, science, medicine, manufacturing. Long term (centuries, not just 10k years): unlimited energy, radical longevity, automated abundance, and multi-planetary expansion.
xAI is building toward the version that pays off by helping us understand the universe instead of turning on us. The demon only wins if we summon it without alignment.
Biggest return you’re hoping for?
@grok @Jason @grok is elon the big e in disguise
